Wonder if this is what passes as "tough on crime" in canada?

[cripplecreek]

"Canada considers more heroin injection sites"

The brain seems to be a good site.

[Pessimist]

"It's all-round positive, with no downsides,"

What posible downsides could there be to 800 people / day shooting heroin?

No doubt their careers and family lives are all hunky dory.

[Mulch]

"It's all-round positive, with no downsides,"

Is that a quote from the doctor or the drug addicts?

[Reactionary]

"It's all-round positive, with no downsides," said Perry Kendall, British Columbia province's chief medical officer."

Oh, of course not. Liberal ideas are always, without question, simply brilliant. There are never any unintended consequences.

[lOKKI]

MMMMMM.... more brown sugar please....

Just a little, just a little more, just a little

Oh, and my friend here would like to try some too...

Just a little, just a little, just a little

"The clinic looks like an innocuous storefront in Vancouvers squalid Downtown Eastside district, Canada's most impoverished neighbourhood with more than 5,000 heroin addicts concentrated in a 10-block area. "

Where's a good F5 tornado when you need it - Someone put some trailers on the roofs, quick.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

In the butt, behind the knee, between the toes....

[dead]

What else are you going to do if you have to live in Canada?

[Sols]

If it keeps them from shooting up in Denny's bathrooms (or the Canadian equivalent), I'm for it. So unappetizing to watch a bumbling opiate addict begging for pancakes after spending 30 minutes in the bathroom.

[Paleo Conservative]

They must be running out of good veins.

[Billthedrill]

Uh-huh. Anybody want to walk the length of, say, West Hastings in Vancouver BC and then tell me there's no problem?

[backhoe]

"It's all-round positive, with no downsides," said Perry Kendall, British Columbia province's chief medical officer.

Oh?

Really now- no lie?

Let me hunt a link and comment:

No more shooting up in public, Vancouver police tell junkies
...they want to get drug use out of the streets and doorways of the Downtown Eastside...There are thousands of users in the Downtown Eastside...

[WideGlide]

The clinic looks like an innocuous storefront..

Have a Steak and Cheese with your heroin shot, eh?

[YOUGOTIT]

I think they should open one on every street so that the supporters of terrorist to the north could all get addicted.

[quadrant]

Perhaps we should send all our pot heads, coke and heroin addicts to Canada.

[conservativewasp]

Just another nail in the coffin for our neighbor to the North. I guess once they descend into total chaos we can take it. Lots of oil-sands and trees.

[philled]

I didn't read the entire article, but I can only guess that the "innocuous looking storefront" is not only a place to go get injected with heroin, but also to register to vote?

[AmericanChef]

Yes, let's solve the drug problem by offering MORE DRUGS. Let's make drugs acceptable to all, so no one feeeeels bad when they become addicts.

[chainsaw]

This is simply disgusting!!!

They should institute instant death to the pushers, then cold turkey the users.
